Trigger Configuration#

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
Typebot	`app`	`app`	This component uses the Typebot app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
N/A	`http`	`$.interface.http`	This component uses `$.interface.http` to generate a unique URL when the component is first instantiated. Each request to the URL will trigger the `run()` method of the component.
Workspace ID	`workspaceId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Typebot ID	`typebotId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.
Block ID	`blockId`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

Typebot uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Typebot account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Typebot APIs in both code and no-code steps.

To retrieve your API token,

Navigate to your Typebot account and sign in
Go to “Settings & Members” > “My account” > “API tokens”

Helper Functions Overview#

The Helper Functions app on Pipedream is a set of pre-built functions that streamline common tasks in your workflows. It acts like a Swiss Army knife for developers, providing essential tools such as format conversion, date manipulation, and text processing. By leveraging these functions, you can reduce the boilerplate code needed for routine operations, speeding up the development of intricate automations. The Helper Functions API can be a game changer when it comes to tasks like parsing dates in user-friendly formats, encoding and decoding data, or generating UUIDs, making them more efficient and less error-prone.
